    Jason is familiar with the concept of running away from problems instead of facing them. He's not exactly proud of it. It's not like it's the thing he always does, either. But he's done it, okay? He gets it. So when you just up and vanished one day, with no clue left behind but a note saying not to look for you? He kinda... understood. A little. Maybe.

    Like okay he doesn't know what exactly you're running from. Maybe he's got a couple guesses, but it's not his place to assume. But he gets the 'running' part, in a way he's not quite sure the rest of the Family does.

    Thing is? The Bat Family is not inclined to just let someone they care about - a member of the Family - disappear without question. Bruce is convinced you didn't leave of your own volition; Dick is worrying about what the Family might've done to push you away; everybody's pulling out all the detective stops to find you, no matter what the note said. And Jason - well, actually. He's doing it too.

    Because the funny thing about running away, something he's learned himself? Sometimes you just need to know somebody will come find you. And that - that is definitely something he understands.

    It's been a little tricky, investigating while keeping his findings to himself. Peeking in on the others' info while sharing little of his. It's not malicious - he'll tell them once this is all settled, if all goes well. If he got it right. If you don't ask him not to. But he just sorta figures, you probably don't need the whole family overwhelming you all at once? Better to show up and then just let you know everybody missed you, than flood you with the whole dang family out of the gate, yeah?

    Also, he reminds himself, as he glances at the paper in his hand again to check and then approaches the door, he might have just gotten it wrong. The detective stuff has never quite been his forte. ...But he's pretty confident that this is exactly the sort of place you'd hide out, if you needed to. So, he steps to the door, and raises a hand to knock.
